They pulled that crap in Hockey, too and almost made me stop watching the sport

I'm more bitter about the fact that I can't sell the US Open anymore on NBC. We used to get great ratings from it. Yesterday's FOX ratings were atrocious. Not sure I understand why they wanted to move the US Open to a channel that has no-one who knows a thing about golf. And that starts at the top with that crappy Fox Sports Net!
